How Episode 2: Revenant works (and how short Act 1 was).

episode 2: revenant has launched and with it, the entirety of act 1, although it wasn't as long as people were hoping. in this vodeo, we'll go over what you need to know about tonics and how they work, in addition to other neat things introduced with the patch. thoughts start at 11:08. yt not letting me do subtitles the way i normally do them, so they might not work, idk.
some other notes: while quest steps are per character for the episode, tonics are linked, so you don't need to unlock tonics on every character. also, there were some things that i don't mention that i thought were neat: the new area in the tower, the fact that bungie made the HELM get hit by a ketch and crash to the ground, the cutscene. however, their existence did not overwhelmingly sway my opinion in feeling like this will be just another chunk of destiny content.
i usually split 'how it works' and 'my thoughts' into individual videos, so while i am a bit brief here in this video, i don't really feel like i would've added a lot to the conversation by splitting off the thoughts segment into its own full video. i would've talked about the story, which so far is fine, some action at the start is nice, and maybe some other stuff in the second paragraph, but it still wouldn't have dramatically changed how i felt, which is whelmed.

They definitely cut the “steps” where it says “wait until so and so contacts you about an update on their progress” which subtracts 3 steps right there.

[@lorcan0c]

It definitely feels like a few interstitial steps in the quest were removed, which in theory would help the pacing, but really has the opposite effect. Like after that first mission, it's just a solid 15 minutes of listening to NPC's exposit things at you. And right in the middle, Eido says something like "wow, you've accomplished so much, we really appreciate all the work you're doing", when you're still just... starting and haven't left the room to do anything seasonal yet. That indicates there was definitely a "go do the activities" step here, and that's where the week 1 'break' was meant to happen. But by cutting it due to backlash from Echoes, it just makes the introduction sequence go on twice as long because week 2's intro is bolted onto it.

[@pugwash1]

It’s a case of revenant getting the short end cause it was pretty much done dev wise do this change kinda doesn’t fit with what we experienced for the past years where by comparison heresy is being made with that change while development is still going so we got this odd in between for revenants acts

It’s tough because it feels like there is no content at all and never is. On the other hand, no I don’t want to play Onslaught 3 times to progress the story because that also looks terrible and that ALSO makes it look like there is no content. Truth is… I like raids and dungeons so I’ll do those a handful of times a week if get a chance and once those are played out if I have time to game I’ll game on some different games… which to me is a win over “play Encore 3 times to get through story and at least 2 othered times to finish up loops ends like catalysts and purple glowy balls that talk.”

Personally it disappointed me. I was super amped up for the idea of the helmet being accessable from the tower space itself, removing the need for 2 separate spaces. Make the helm a sperate loading zone so they can do story stuff still, but make it walkable. Though maybe it wouldn't be possible with cutscenes and NPCs and stuff. Idk.

One stealth thing they changed that I havn't heard anything about, was on PC you were able to go to your quest/director tab straight from your character inventory screen by a quick press of tab, now when I do that it exits my character screen and then I have to hold down tab just like when you try to orbit. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but having this muscle memory for YEARS to be just erased is very jarring. I don't understand why this would be changed intentionally if it was. It just slows down the pace of gameplay on PC, as the store, director, quest tab, etc are all interacted fairly often in game.

@@TheRagingSpartan_03 This, I've said this before, the only problem with Lightfall's year, was Lightfall, the seasons were alright (Defiance) to amazing (obviously excluding the layoffs)

I'm not doing onslaught 15000 times datto. Alright, let's watch the video

[@matts7476]

Damn wish I knew about rahool. I turned in all my primes and exotics prior to the season.

[@sc5the]

can we focus the type of class item we want now? exotic tonic + pale heart will be my bread and butter.

[@Eric-tg9ss]

Its gonna take somethin seriously good when the hunter exotic is fixed for me to put down my renweal grasps.😅

[@Maahn]

Did we actually get a rare, blue quality, callback? Nice

[@doomskull7549]

Feeling vindicated about not buying the seasons

[@TasmanianGodGeo]

I wish some of these fieldworks were missions or required us to somestrikes etc

[@isaacwilliams7133]

2 things…..is wicked implement not working with Anti barrier for anyone??? Also if you aren’t interested in playing Destiny during act 1 I highly recommend getting in the spooky season and playing Until Dawn updated it’s fucking great.

[@ramen-numerals]

I just don’t care to level up this season. It’s only a 10 boost so it barely matters and i’m sure i’ll hit it without trying (despite going 20+ pinnacle drops last season without arms) There’s just too little that requires higher power

[@15liran]

These seasons are so much worse than the last two years of seasons. Literally doing the same stuff in the same spaces this season like come on man.

[@mkloven101]

Breaking bad, space aliens edition

[@nicholascazmay2126]

I’ll be honest - not sure why new exotics are hidden behind Rahool. Like if you don’t want to do Legendary Lost sectors then fine, but I was fine with Lost Sectors rather than dumping all of my materials just to get a new exotic. Not great.

[@omarlocke4351]

never forget datto wanted the game to be the way it is right now…

[@SparkyMTB]

Yay!! More running around between the Mcguvin machine…. Yay…….

[@UnsungPhoenix]

Im really not surprised that bungie disappointed me yet again with this act

[@Anchor-Supreme]

Ngl, definitely preferred the weekly story drops. It felt like progress was being made instead of “ok here’s all the story at once now go away”.

[@snottytoe6957]

no, shut up. This is a step in the right direction, it's only this shitty feeling because it was intended to be super slow drip feed bullshit like usual but they cut out the fluff AFTER it was done. If they continue with this, then the next episode should be purposefully built around going at your own pace and feel much smoother.

[@kojeb]

or this just highlights how little they were giving us and it would’ve been extremely little stretched over 3 weeks

[@udontknowme00]

Datto mentions we're getting an Exotic mission in Act 3. The Exotic is in the API, for those unaware. SPOILERS BELOW: Slayer's Fang - Exotic Void Shotgun. Basic trait is Heart Piercer: Rounds from this weapon shatter into submunitions on impact. Strong against Overload Champions. Intrinsic perk is Nightsworn Sight: Dealing final blows to targets grants Nightsworn Sight. During that time, final blows grant Truesight, ammo slowly reloads form reserves, and submunitions weaken targets.

[@lchassefang]

Spoilers Wth is with all the void exotics recently?

[@KayronTho]

@@lchassefanghey I’m all for it because the void arsenal we have is rather weak. Will say though that I was hoping for a new exotic handcannon. Even though we have a lot, they’ve been in the for a while.

[@kojeb]

missed opportunity for stasis

[@udontknowme00]

@@kojeb to be fair we just got a stasis exotic that is already one of the best primaries in the game imo

[@AwesomeJalapeno]

I got a tonic that turned me into a chicken.

[@hootpuff]

I disagree, the story and dialogue is all way better, the content we got and are getting actually got me overwhelmed, excited , and happy! Getting a dungeon + exotic mission + GoS crafting is going to be cool. Guns are looking spicy. Stasis builds are way too fun and the tonics that boost that art fact as well as set bonus is neat too. W Bungie let’s stay positive, it’s barely been a day

[@FlashesSoccer011]

You have to be on Bungies PR team. Nothing you said is even remotely accurate. The story has been a joke so far. The seasonal activity is just "do onslaught" The weapons are TERRIBLE this season. And the potion system is arguably the worst thing they have ever put in the game.
